Sony 256GB CFexpress Type B Reviews
Working Flawlessly for 2 Years
Bought this card as I've never had Sony memory cards fail on me; this one is just as reliable as my past experiences. The read and write speeds on the card are spot on. I put in this card in my Canon R5 and never remove it, it records 8K video and full sized bursts without any issue whatsoever. After 400GB+ written, still chugging along reliably. I only transfer images via USB-C so I cannot attest to the physical durability of the card as it never leaves my camera.
Fast, Durable & Plenty of Capacity
I am a professional photographer. I bought the Sony CFexpress card to replace a Sony XQD. I needed a faster read and write speed. This card fit that need. So far the card has lived up to its specifications.
Dead on arrival
How can a completely dead card make it out of the factory? Quality control much, Sony?
Flawless
I purchased this card to use instead of the XQD slower cards for use in My Nikon D850. So far, everything perfect. Love it.
Fast and reliable
You pay more for these cards, but after purchasing four (two 512GB, and two 128GB), I love them. Fast write speeds in my two R5 bodies. If there's a downside, they can get hot when doing a lot of continuous shooting, but I understand that this occurs in all CF Express cards, especially in high-performance cameras.
Great and tough as they say
I like the ruggedness of it. It's worst the money
Fast but far from tough
The TOUGH line of the SD cards is fast and TOUGH without a doubt. If you are expecting this card to provide you with the speeds you need for your R5 8K or 4k 10bit 120p then the TOUGH CFexpress Type B from Sony delivers just fine. 2. If you think they are as solid in build quality and tough as dry tac, then this is where Sony dropped the ball. Of the 3x I have they have all come apart. The button part falls off first after ejecting them and then they start to crack. I have had dirt cheap knock offs last longer and take more abuse than these guys and they are still fine. guys.

Just not these guys. Again, they are fast and work, but as long as they don't fall apart on you, after 6 months. As for their SD cards and others in the TOUGH line. well, those are solid and live up to the name. Honestly, I would pass on these. Sad but true.

Working Well!
I use it weekly in my Canon R5 and upload from it with my ProGrade Digital CFExpress Type B reader with no issues.
